however, there are problems with dates because DPL tries to return all
dates in the users own timezone, which would mess things up... if
properties were actually being updated, which apparently they
aren't... (template caching issues I guess).

but is a bit simpler (took a couple of hours to set up from
'scratch'), and also gives page size / hit counter.

It's far from perfect, but I just thought I'd throw it out there to
see what people think. I know metadata isn't everyone's cup of tea,
but it can be useful for administrative and site design purposes. If
it looks useful, I'd like to try to put this into SMW 'on the inside'
by coding up the relevant PHP.

I, for one, wish that I could have much more sophisticated metadata accessible via SMW for the purpose of site development, and other uses within the scope of presenting information to users. Having to use DynamicPageList is a disappointment, since this is SMW's forte. Badon 16:20, July 13, 2011 (EDT)
